Business model
The Hanataba squad takes on missions through a network of secret agents and contacts. Requests require payment up-front and exchange multiple hands before finally landing in the palm of the leader of the group: Ren. It is Ren who has the final say on which missions the group accepts or rejects.

In Shuri, one way to hire the Hanataba squad is to approach their contact at the Shuri Post Office and request a flower delivery. When the payment is made, whichever name and address is provided for this delivery will become the next target of the Hanataba squad, should they accept the offer.
